Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered

good nature.
The human digestive apparatus is one
of the most complicated and wonderful
things in existence. 1t is easily put out
OF order.
Greasy food, tough food, sloppy food,
bad cookery, mental worry, late hours,
irregular habits. and many other things
which ought not TO be, have made the
American people nation of dyspeptics.
But Green 3 August Flower has done a
wonderful work in reforming this sad
business and making the American peo-
